Road RageLast week I had to stop a guy attacking another one in the middle of the road - one had run the lights whilst on the phone and the other had objected. I actually had to take the attacker's car keys out of their car and tell him he wasn't getting them back till he calmed down.
Looking back on it, I was lucky I was feeling all parental and in control or the situation could have panned out very differently.
Have you lost it on the roads, or have you been on the recieving end of some nutter?

Not me but my mate TimHe drives really fast, goes through spaces in his BMW I'd never attempt in my Toyota, and shouts at all the drivers who aren't quick enough and blares his horn and goes red with rage.
I used to nervously say to him : Tim you are driving too fast mate, watch for that speed camera etc etc. Then more recently he told me that although I knew he was a policemean in his earlier years he was also a driver. Ah. now I know why he has road rage. They take 7 weeks to train them by demotivating them for 2 weeks telling them they can't steer or change gears properly then build them up to the drivers you see today driving police cars going along at 120 miles an hour down the motorway.
He's probably the safest driver I know, and I just take the piss out of his road rage, which makes him even worse. As I've got 9 points on my licence I drive like a snail and stay within the speed limits, which makes him more raged if he's with me. I didn't know people could get so angry about driving.
Sad eh ?
